Note that's only an option for OSA.  It won't do anything for CSA.

OSA = Obstructive Sleep Apnea

CSA = Chronic Sleep Apnea

Just chiming in.


edit: CSA = Central Sleep apnea

thanks for explaining that in the third reply chad.

ChadTower:

No problem.  When I was diagnosed I did a ton of research into the topic.  Ironically, I never did become any good at using my CPAP, and don't use it now.  My sleep apnea is mild to moderate so while it does affect how I feel it doesn't affect my abilities.  There is definitely a weight threshhold for me, though, that if I get to a certain bodyfat % the apnea gets worse fast.  It seems to be around 23-24%.  I don't get any better if I go well below it but I do get worse if I reach those levels.

I used to have a similar problem when i was really fat.

Now I'm  :woot thinner than I was,  I can breathe better and no more snoring.

I still have the problem about getting out of bed after the alarm clock goes off, but that is a side effect of having such a comfy bed.   ;D
